I just received a Chiappa 1911-22 today. I took it to my range and fired two clips of Winchester Wildcat HV ammunition through it with good results with accuracy and no feed or ejection issues. My only negative comment involves the trigger pull which I feel is very hard and with a fair amount of take up and creep.

I have a few questions that I would appreciate answers too.

1) In what country are these pistols manufactured in?

2) What metal are the frame, slide and barrel (not the liner) made of?

3) What is the basic metallic composition of Chiapalloy and Zamac and are they one in the same?

4) What components are made of other materials than Chiapalloy and Zamac

4) What American distributor has the Chiappa brand extra magazines in stock?

Thank you for your time in reading this and providing answers to my questions.

Try page 19 of the Manual for DNF, mine did the same thing, I found a combination of dirty chamber not allowing the slide to move forward and I was using American Eagle amo that had a lot of DNF’s. I switched to regular federal bulk box ammo and had no problem at all.

I also found the people at Chiappa were very informitive, I have called on a couple of occasions and they took care of me right away!

Their website is chiappafirearms.com

Bad news, when I decided to give it a good cleaning, I decided to take the grips off….that was a BIG OOOPS! Right grip no problem, left grip and springs flew everywhere! The grip holds the plunger tube (it is not staked like a 1911) and the slide safety in place. Well, after about 2 hours searching with my flashlight I found the little booger (little spring on the slide safety) and got it back together. Was really easy once I figured it out, just wasn’t prepared for the “Jack in a Box” effect when I took the grip off.

Then it was back to the range on Sunday to chew up more ammo and wipe out a batallion of tin cans! My local Walmart got another shipment of .22 Federal (which it really likes) so my 6 box limit of 550 round boxes should get me through the weekend.

That’s my update…

I have two P22s, one with a couple thousand rounds through it, and both have been flawless. My experience has been that using zinc in rimfires is not detrimental if they are properly cared for. I have to wonder if owners complaining about problems with P22s are simply abusing them.

It is interesting which will be better GSG 1911 22LR HV vs Chiappa 1911 22LR ???

Thanks

I paid 300.00 for the 1911-22, with one magazine. Extra magazines are under 20.00 ea, but I have not found any available yet, the guy at the shop said they will be getting some soon. The magazine is plastic, but seems very durable.

I found some Winchester 333 and a 500 count box of Federal, and some Wolf Match. I have shot all of the Winchester and I’m half way thru the Federal, I have put close to 900 rounds through it and it’s shooting better the more I shoot it. It really shoots the Wolf target well, even makes me look good! I have not seen any of the ammo you are talking about around here.

The magazine slide lock works great, I can’t wait to get a couple more mags for it!

The metal seems really strong, I have had no problem, and it looks like it is blued, not painted. I found this information about Chappalloy:

CHIAPPALLOY

Chiappalloy is a die casting alloy developed by Chiappa Research and Development engineers and has been in continued development and application since 1987. Historically, zinc alloys have been an economic approach utilized in firearm production for over 50 years. However, this application was not without limitations. Typically alloy casted components are limited to the quality of metal finish with high porosity and were usually either plated or painted. Most alloy casted firearm components are limited to low pressure ammunition and are usually best suited for rimfire calibers.

Chiappalloy has been developed to improve the strength, wear resistance and creep properties in the zinc alloy family. The alloys included in our unique blend include aluminum, copper, magnesium, and iron. This allows Chiappalloy to maintain casted components that are easily machined and finished to a bright level of polish with minimal porosity. Due to the high luster polish that can be obtained, Chiappalloy’s plating properties are enhanced, yielding beautiful Nickel & Gold (color) plated components.
Chiappalloy can be black finished that matches well with conventional blued & black anodized aluminum components. This black finish is much more durable and appealing than that of zinc casted components that must be coated or painted. The black finish when applied to Chiappalloy is very durable and can easily be touched up with most commercially available “Cold Blue” gun products.

In addition to the machining & finish attributes of Chiappalloy, this unique alloy has been developed to accurately replicate the weight of the replica firearms produced by Chiappa Firearms. For example, the Model 1911-22 feels very similar in weight and balance to the original 1911 chambered in .45 ACP.

DENSITY!!!

Zn-based alloys have cca. the same density as steel. But the Al is much less. Therefore if it is the same weight as a steel M1911…it CAN’t be Aluminium.

I hope I can answer you?? I bought a Chiappa 1911 yesterday, and I have been up all night with it. I have only shot it in my backyard range and out to 35 yards it does great! I have already shot over 300 rounds, I wanted to break it in rigt. The only malfunction I had was from a handful of old ammo that I had, about a dozen DNF’s, but then that was ammo that had gone through the wash and nothing I had would set them off.

The pistol is almost the same weight as my Springfield 1911 and feels very good. I already filed the front sight to zero at about 15 yards where I do most of my shooting. i heard cold blue would touch up the filing and it did. The metal does not seem like pot metal? More like aluminum but black.

The major difference I see between the Chiappa and my Springfield is when the Chiappa safety is on, it locks the slide. The trigger pull a little long and feels to be about 5-6 pounds, I don’t know if I’m imagining it or getting use to it, but the trigger pull feels better now than it did when i first got it.

I had a Kimber conversion that I could never get to shoot right on my Springfield so I sold it for 250.00, and for 50.00 more the Chiappa worked right out of the box! Accuracy seems good, better than me anyway. But I can make a beer can jump at 15 yards all day long with it!

I hope this answers some of your questions, I’ll let you know more when I get some more ammo!

Describe your impressions how you will buy the Colt from the use :]

1)Whether he is tough blows / high many shoot np 9 000 shots ???

2)Wheter materials good strong ???

3)What maximum range ???

Ammo HV compatibile very good

I am having high hopes its good product :]

4) How you are judging it in the scale from 1 to 6 ???

They were only shooting at 15 yds but you could cover the groups with a quarter.

They said that they have already started shipping, if they shoot anything like the one I saw, I’m getting one this weekend! They said some of the local shops in our area will be the first to get them this week.

However I’ve already answered to all your question; I’m repeating what I said.

We have decided to made our pistol in plastic, this is it!

As I told you our pistol are in Zamak and not in steel, there are only a barrel liner made of steel.

The pistol will be available probably by the end of the year.

We do not have any German importer yet.

Sorry but I’ve no idea what these sentence means. ( “ 5) ZNAL IS BRITTLE AND VERY WEAK FOR BLOWS!!!!” )

GOOD Politics

Plastic easy damage =Pistol go Service and 3 week and 4 week repair
STILL ANEW

Dear Mr. Fenixom ,

Our pistol are made of Zamak with a barrel liner in steel. The only piece made of plastic is the magazine. We will sell it with only one magazine out of the box.

The warranty covers damages for one year after the purchase. The pistol is around 1Kg of weight.

Our pistol guarantee an excellent price-quality comparison.

It is not on the market yet, probably in on year, the suggested retail price will be around 300€ for the pistol and 10-20€ for the magazine.

It is tested with all the 22LR commercial ammunition.

I’m at your disposal for any further information or support you may need.

Best Regards

Giada Chiappa

these .22 1911s are no more than airsofts/blank guns that have been converted to .22.. and they will not last with the punishment that firing 10’s of thousands of rounds through..

the P22 does break.. there are many, many problems with it.. all of which could be solved by using MIM steel, instead of Zamac alloy.. but, it would price it out, and Umarex wouldn’t be able to produce it.. most of the problems with the P22 can be worked out, if you read the “P-22 Bible” for the mods that help with the quirks.. the only other problem is the slide cracking.. some crack from the counter weight being too close to the slide, or from the recoil spring wearing out and the slide battering the frame.. (some have used PVC tubing as shock buffers to great effect)
i really like the P-22.. but it has so many quirks for the cost.. it’s a good thing that S&W will replace them if you have problems with it.. but, that’s also an indicator of how cheap they are to make..

They advertize it as being 80% part compatible with a classic (read .45) 1911. So, I’d say the frame and the biggest part of the internals are compatible , with the barrel, magazine, firing pin assembly, ejector, return spring and slide being obviously not interchangeable with .45 components.

Is there a link to the manufacturers site for this one anywhere?

I have seen a number Sig mosquito and Walther P22 slide break in half because the company went cheap on the metal.
